Chapter 407 Capture of Captives alive
In Manchu, Gushan Ezhen means the chief of the banner, who manages the household registration, production, education, training and other things in the banner. It has another title, which is the Dutong, the second-ranking figure of the Qing Dynasty after the banner leader Beile. Its power and status are far more than that of the six ministries, Chengzheng and the third colleges of the inner three academies, and Ying'erdai happens to be one of them.
People with such status usually have nearly a thousand flags escorts when traveling. However, the Songjin War was not over yet, and North Korea completely surrendered. Yingyi did not believe that the Koreans dared to do anything to him. Taking too many soldiers made him seem timid. Therefore, in the end, he only brought one Niulu 300 flagsmen, and other 700 servants, forming a thousand people. The Koreans did not dare to do anything to him, but this time it was the Ming army that touched him.
The misjudgment of the situation ultimately made Ying Erdai lose his viciousness, and the judgment that those defeated troops of the Ming Dynasty made him send all his elite troops casually. What's even more stupid is that he also sent all his cavalry. This trip to Korea was too smooth, which made him relax his vigilance and made a big mistake. On the battlefield, a mistake was eternal regret.
Hearing Ying'erd shouting, the guard beside him tightly squeezed the reins, and the horse under his crotch quickly stopped. Zhou Xian seized the opportunity to deliver two more arrows, and the two horses fell to the ground in a skew. There were still horses, including Ying'erd, and there were only six people. Two Qing soldiers turned the horse's head first and rushed towards Zhou Xian with guns.
Zhou Xian tightened the bowstring and shot again. With a "bang", a man was shot in his chest and fell off the horse. This time he shot a man. The distance between the two sides was only a hundred steps, and it was too late to draw the bow again. He threw the longbow to the ground and escaped the gun from his waist. The distance of a hundred steps came in an instant. The Qing army saw Zhou Xian take something out from his waist, but did not notice what it was. After seeing it clearly, it was too late.
Another thud sounded, and a layer of smoke rose. The Qing army screamed, his face was covered in blood, and he fell down in a daze. Within thirty steps, he shot directly in the face. It would be strange if he was not dead. The third Qing army also chased him at this time. He held a long knife in his hand and roared, looking at Zhou Xian's upper body.
Zhou Xian reacted very quickly, leaned back, and the blade pressed against his face. Although he was not injured, the pussy was cut off. It was too late to load the magazine again. Zhou Xian took the pistol back to his waist. He dodged to the right for a distance, and at the same time took off the spear from the side of the star sag, turned the horse's head, and then walked backwards.
The Qing army thought that the slash was about to hit, so he used all his strength. With one knife, he ran forward for a distance. He tightened the rope and quickly turned the horse's head, wanting to continue chasing Zhou Xian. But he didn't expect that Zhou Xian's mount was faster. The moment he turned around, a long spear came out from behind and stabbed him off the horse.
Seeing that the three of them died in a flash, Ying'erdai no longer cared about his identity and rushed back with a spear. Zhou Xian began to fight against two without any disadvantage. But when Ying'erdai entered the battle formation, he gradually felt endless pressure. He no longer sought an attack, but instead defended both sides with a spear, deliberately delaying time.
When a Qing army saw that the Ming cavalry was about to chase after him, he shouted to Ying'erdai: "Director, go quickly, let's stop him." Zhou Xian once asked Gao Yi to teach him some simple Manchu language, which could basically understand. He slashed and stabbed Ying'erdai in the chest to stop him from leaving.
Ying'erdai was not a brave man. The situation was like this, and he knew that he had no chance to choose. He swept away the spear that Zhou Xian stabbed, and after leaving the distance, he ran eastward again. The three of them left one, and Zhou Xian's pressure dropped sharply.
The other two Qing soldiers who were shot down before and were close to each other rushed over with swords. They were thinking of killing Zhou Xian. But they never thought that a rain of arrows came at this time and nailed the two to the ground. The man who was fighting fiercely with Zhou Xian shouted at his younger brother and turned his head back. Zhou Xian saw the opportunity and stabbed him diagonally and penetrated his waist. Blood was shot out, and he screamed and dropped his horse. The last person left, seeing Zhou Xian's reinforcements arrived, wanted to turn around and escape, but was shot by the bow and arrow shot from behind.
Zhou Xian grabbed the horse's belly and accelerated forward. He used a spear to draw the long bow he had first dropped, then caught it and continued to chase forward. Thanks to Xingbing's speed, Zhou Xian quickly chased within the range of the bow and arrow. Zhou Xian led the bow and arrow, aiming at Ying'erd's back heart. But he hesitated for a moment and moved slightly. An arrow passed and hit Ying'erd's right shoulder blade. He groaned and fell to the ground.
Zhou Xian quickly moved forward, picked up the short knife that Ying'erdai cut towards his neck, and said lightly: "You can't die yet."
Ying'erdai stroked the wound on his right shoulder with his left hand, stood up with difficulty, looked at Zhou Xian with a steady attitude and said, "Who are you?"
"Zhou Xian, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Denglai."
Two hundred cavalry rushed forward, followed by one thousand infans, and defeating the Qing servants with twice the number of soldiers was not easy. Gao Yi had three hundred flagsmen, and they resisted tenaciously until the war stopped on this side and they were still occupying the terrain to resist. After Tan Shimai captured or killed the Qing army around him, he sent five hundred teams to reinforce. With the continuous shooting of 100 guns and countless powerful bows, they were finally completely defeated. Except for more than 30 captured, all the remaining people were killed.
Zhou Xian called a medical officer and pointed at Ying'erdai and said, "Healing him first."
Xia Shu led an old man with white hair and hair to Zhou Xian, bowed and said, "Military Gate, this is the right-wing lord Kim Sang-heng of North Korea. He said he would pay homage to you."
Zhou Xian turned back and bowed slightly to Jin Shangxian and said, "It turned out that Lord Jin, who was tearing his hand in the Bingzi Rebellion. He has heard of the great name for a long time, and I am polite to me."
Kim Sang-hyun hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "You are polite, I am ashamed of you."
Zhou Xian smiled and turned to Xia Shu next to him and said, "Go and call Eunuch Du here."
After a while, Du Xun followed the two little eunuchs with a dim face. As soon as he passed by the battlefield, he looked at the bloody and bloody look. He suddenly heard Zhou Xian look for him, and he felt nervous, as if more than a dozen gongs and drums were beating at the same time, loud noises up and down.
Zhou Xian greeted Du Xun and smiled at Jin Shangxian, "Mr. Jin, this is the first eunuch of my Ming Dynasty, and Du Xun, the most trusted Du Xun, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. This time, His Majesty the Emperor sent him to North Korea with his ministers. Master Jin may guess why this is?"
